Amidst unprecedented wealth and technological advancement, why do millions suffer more from sickness and hunger with each passing year? In its fourteen hard-hitting case studies, "Dying for Growth" brings us the answers.
Dying for Growth exposes the interests behind a system that consigns a fifth of the world's population to live (and die) on less than a dollar a day. Rooted in the lives of people waging heart-wrenching struggles against a new, systemic form of poverty, these studies don't just document inequality--they pinpoint its underlying causes.
